In time it’ll be a Trigger’s Bed.

 

I mean… I was going for the original “Ship of Theseus” paradox described by the Ancient Greek philosopher Plutarch…

…but… yeah, sure… Trigger’s Broom… whatever…

 

16g labret studs for nesting partner
12mm plugs for myself

Practical purchase, offsite backups became easier

 

Train and ferry tickets for Sprog2's Easter return from uni.

Still, it's cheaper than the cost of the car ferry, if I was to collect him.

 

You pay for you kid to come home mate?

Novel.

 

Yeah, he's skint and doesn't get his money for another two weeks. So, back home for free food and laundry service

 

I don't have any cex credit. I think my reputation is more that I can get people to sleep through lack of technique.

 

It was always like returning to a land where there was endless free food and clean clothes, I remember it fondly.

Don't envy his bill at the end of uni nowadays, it's ridiculous.

 

We have gone from empty nesters to both back, and now only DD at home. Eldest now has a real job in London and pays for his own train tickets to come home!

He has been home a couple of times, but it's not to see us,,,he's had local DnB and MC-ing performances locally!

 

Local performances locally? That's like the local-est of the local!

Word up, man!

All jokes aside, that's actually pretty cool!

 

Don't touch the things, this is a local performance for local people, there's nothing for you here.

 

Took me a minute... I've always called it C-E-X

 

So I do a bit of tautology, I can give up any time!



My son is the one in the (borrowed) yellow puffer jacket... All 3 of the guys write and produce the tracks.

 

Raphnet N64-USB adapter.

I tried playing Starfox with a 360 controller. Never again.

 

I tried that, they just said I was spinning it.

 

Random hoodie



Not sure who'd pay £90 for one even if it is water/wind proof but Regatta going to Regatta.

£27 though, yeah why not.

E: I'm going to go and perfect my gormless distant look. I mean it's not bad as it is but needs a bit of work.

 

Lol, more rusty iron than blue steel nowadays

 

Flexispot 100x60 Standing Desk for my wife as an early B-day present. She is really into her Novel planning / writing and wanted a desk space downstairs. Moved the entire room around to fit it in but was a net positive as we had a good clear out when doing it.





Technically the keyboard is also a very recent purchase, Royal Kludge S98. Very "thocky".

Also ordered her some surprise presents from one of her favorite independent authors. No pics as none of it has arrived yet...

Also treated myself to a new laptop to try and re-kindle my desire to game. I barely used my desktop due to it being the spare bedroom / office and I didn't enjoy having it downstairs hooked up to the TV either. My idea for the laptop is I can use it anywhere in the house where it can sit (mainly on the above desk if I am honest). Had a quick tinker last night and the Ultra 255HX and RTX 5070Ti (M) make for quite the paring for the overall price. Not amazing in isolation at £1699 (all laptops appear to have gone a bit whacky in pricing terms) but compared to other options with the same specs its decent value.

Worlds worst pictures incoming....





(Windows took so long to update itself that I ran out of time to get decent pics).

Quick and dirty performance netted ~33.5k In CBR23 and a smidge over 80FPS in CP2077 with Ultra settings but custom FoV (I need to reset to default to compare with other benchmarks, initial testing suggests its a little ahead of a 4080M running with a WC/d i9 14900HX).
